Balogun on Dessers unable to save Rangers
Balogun's compatriot Cyriel Dessers scored the only goal for Rangers.
He admitted the first half was dismal and that they should have done better.
Balogun said, "The dressing room is probably as flat as our first half was. That’s where the whole truth in the game lies, I think."
"If we start a game of football like that at Ibrox, again, after Wednesday night where I thought the team showed great character, I think it’s only right you get a certain reaction from the crowd."
"I understand everybody who would say, 'Shut the f*** up' - how many more times am I going to sit here, or a manager or another player?"
He pinpointed inconsistency as a major issue, Balogun dismissed feeble excuses, emphasizing action over words.
